Offer Upgrade  User ID: 72099278  United Kingdom06/12/2019 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cannabis affects teenagers brains so severely that they end up three years behind their classmates, study finds Regularly smoking cannabis can affect teenagers so severely that they end up three years behind their classmates in terms of brain development, a landmark study has found. The results of the investigation, which involved almost 4,000 secondary school children in Canada, led researchers to conclude cannabis is more toxic for youngsters’ brains than alcohol. Persistent use of the drug seriously affected basic reasoning skills – while it also had a disastrous effect on self-control, they found. Meanwhile, a separate study has found hard evidence that the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), causes changes in the brain that trigger schizophrenia. In the high school study, researchers at Montreal University studied pupils from the time they entered the Canadian seventh grade – aged 12 or 13 years – for four years. They regularly asked the young volunteers about their cannabis and alcohol use and put them through computer tests examining reasoning skills, short-term memory and self-control. Professor Patricia Conrod, professor of psychiatry at the university, said not only did they find cannabis users tended to do worse than non-users, but also that those pupils who smoked cannabis saw their results deteriorate when their use of the drug increased.

[link to kutv.com (secure)] [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] [link to www.godvine.com (secure)] Caffeine drinks are a real problem in this country, especially for teens, and yet they are available everywhere and not regulated at all. So where's your crusade against the evil caffeine corporation? |

User ID: 77705265 United States06/12/2019 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Cannabis affects teenagers brains so severely that they end up three years behind their classmates, study finds The truth is that weed and weed products are often far more potent now than in the past. A person at any age with underlying mental issues can be triggered into a full blown psychotic episode that can actually be permanent. While many people can use weed without any problem a good portion of the population will have problems. This is especially true with young people, mainly because their minds haven't developed and the weed is so potent. Really, the government needs to legalize and strongly regulate the weed industry or enforce the existing laws. 700llib |

The study is inconclusive. The herb smoking goes away when you have a proper education and something meaningful to do with your time. In this case, cannabis would be what we call a scapegoat. |
